Variety: John 1v43

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ (John 1:43)

“Think now about your feet. Think about your feet as you look out the window at people on the street. Do you see someone in need of kindness? It is often easy to find someone who appears lonely. Do your feet move you in their direction? We often move around so quickly that we fail to notice when someone needs our help. Or, let’s be honest, we don’t much care. We see a need and instead we put our feet up.  
“Put your heart in your feet. When was the last time you went looking for the person who needs a friend? Be honest—when was it? Whether in a classroom, at work, or on the street, it has never been easy to do the right thing because it takes a special kind of courage. We will always feel more comfortable not helping, avoiding new and uncomfortable situations. But we need to do more than be comfortable.
